GeoGebra
DYNAMIC MATHEMATICS SOFTWARE FOR
LEARNING AND TEACHING
What is GeoGebra?

• Dynamic Mathematics Software.

• Useful for learning and teaching

Mathematics at all levels of
education.
 Dynamic Mathematics for
Everyone
What does this mean?
• Dynamic Mathematics
- Interactive software that helps
visualize and understand
Mathematics .
- Simple interface, powerful
Mathematics
Why GeoGebra?

• It is an open source software, freely

available.
• Allows interactive exploration.
• It is available for desktop computer,
for tablet and for iphones.
• Makes Mathematics more amusing.
• Can be used offline.
Importance of GeoGebra in
Learning and Teaching

• To facilitate an active approach to

learning.
• To allow students to become involved
in discovery and to consolidate their
own knowledge, thus developing
conceptual and geometrical
understanding and a deeper
approach to learning.
Importance of GeoGebra in
Learning and Teaching

• It offers both an opportunity

and a challenge to present
new approaches that assist
students and teachers to
develop better understanding
of the concept.
• It allows learners to discover rules, to
make and test conjectures and to
explore the relationship between
different representations of functions
and other mathematical objects using
a blend of visual, symbolic and
computational approaches.
Learn the basics
Graph the following:
•1. 7(x-3)=6+3y
•2. y = -5(-5-x)-6
•3. 2x-3y = -3(y-7)
Activity

• Graph the following:

1.
x  2
2. y  x 4
2

3. g(x)=(x-1)(x+2)(x+3)
2
 xy  1
2
4. y
x
• Find the intersection
• 1. x-2y=5, 2x+y+2
• 2. y=3x+5, 5x-2y=10
• 3. 1 1 2
x  y  10, x   y
